Atrocious period. Its a miracle the score is what it is.

Rangers, predictably, trying to play pond hockey with a TEAM YOU DON'T DO THAT WITH!!

No sustained forecheck, no 5 man unit transition. A bunch of players slapping pucks around, looking confused.

As I said earlier, no grind and no clog equals no win..

I didn't see a deflection, maybe it did. It was a shot from the best spot you can take, sometimes goalies get beat.

And yeah, Georgie would've been roasted for that, that's my point. JJ needs to take that shot away, simple as that.

It looked like JJ was poke checking the puck rode up his stick at the perfect angle to go top corner.

That’s what it looked like to me but I could be wrong... I just hope Kink can make the expected saves and we turn the game around.

To me that's just the Pens being faster and draped all over us everywhere 85 x 200

Only one way to stop that and if you don't have the horses you have to stop them in the neutral zone and play more of a counter game IMO

The puck slid up a stick and fluttered top corner. Not a soft goal.

Geo would have been roasted though. Dude exhausted all his goodwill.

Geo was literally reaching low for pucks trying to stab the puck while they were launch over his glove. He took his glove out of position. He wasnt seeing the puck at all. Big difference.

Again, getting outplayed is getting outplayed. It's not because we lack effort or are lazy. They're simply not fast or strong enough, at least against these Pens it seems.
 
it's not on the coach that the players have no defense for "guy skates at me, well, f***, guess ill do nothing productive now. my one weakness!" over and over and over again.

make a f***ing play, take a hit, reverse hit at them, dont back up and shoot into their shin pads in a panic
 
Pens bottom 6 outworking the entire Rangers team once again. Then Crosby's line steps foot on the ice and we go brain dead on assignments.

Note: they are *also* getting outplayed, badly.

But you're gonna get outplayed when you go through motions and frankly don't seem to get mad at getting dummied.

I agree. Geo was flailing out there. Kincaid got beat on a deflected fluttering top corner shot. That wasn’t Kinks fault to my eyes.

I think with skaters it's fair to observe subtleties in their play etc. But with the goalie it's pretty simple, either you save the puck or you don't lol.

Hopefully Kinkaid saves the rest and the Rangers win.
 
I am behind in game because I took time to do this. Just goes to show, that Mika simply is feeling forced in his decisions (self imposed) and not allowing things to come naturally. Pass when u should shoot, and vice versa.
He could have saucered it. Or, is it sauced? Lol.

They're sending 2 deep on the forecheck and continuously being beaten because Pitt is faster, that's simply what's happening. Send 1 deep and have the second forechecker stay higher and angle them out to the outside or to the boards. That will slow them and their transition down through the neutral zone

Or he moves it to the point, the Dman flicks another weak wrister that gets blocked and Pittsburgh gets another odd man rush. I actually liked what he tried instead

He does it all the time though. Like Kovalev said, he's not going to produce staying on the perimeter and firing weak wrist shots. He's gotta either get himself inside or the puck. In that scenario the passing lane was wide open to Miller and it seems like Kakko just doesn't see it there.
 
honestly if they come out and play like that again i hope they get blown out

f***ing sick of wins on the edge where we get murdered all night.

Safe to say it's not Covid. His confidence is out of whack. Zig instead of zag. Pass instead of shoot, etc.
